I'd add one additional variant that could be a function, and that's 'del' when used on something other than a simple name: >>> del values[2] Conceptually, this is very similar to values.pop(2), only it doesn't return the value. But for its simple-name form, where it reverses the effect of assignment to a simple name, it has to be a statement. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
